Because A Pretty, Little Workspace Makes All The Difference

Uhhhmmm, my favorite place to get creative is by far my office space.

For me to get in my mad scientist zone, I HAVE to have the right office vibes going on.

Since moving in with my fiancé, we’ve been trying to combine feminine & masculine taste ( remember this lil tutorial? ) so when it came to decorating TSC office, I was all about a calm, cool girly ( but not overly girly ) feel.

So yes, this is my old desk ( << SUP IKEA! ). My new desk ( which I want to wrap around my body like last year’s Versace ) was designed with Westin Mitchell (<< he has THE BEST stuff ) & I’ll be sure to share it on TSC soon!! It’s a huge-ass, white slab of marble with a gold bottom. If I were a desk….

I hope you guys enjoyed this sneak peek into my office! The space still needs some work ( need to spray paint the shelves, hang some pictures, & refurbish my vintage chair ) BUT it’s coming along. Slowly but surely…I try to do a little organization/decor every day.

Anyone out there who has moved a lot? I’ve moved one too many times in my lifetime so I’m hoping there won’t be any U-Haul’s in my near future? Fingers crossed.

Love your office space! I don’t have a full office to use as my workspace, but my project for this week is to get my room, including my desk in order and looking super cute!

This looks so pretty! I share a desk with my BF and it’s not pretty at all. Time for an upgrade! Also, I need to get that Kitten cup for my gf…she uses the word cat and kitten to describe basically everything in her life haha.

Your workspace is so inspiring! And you are right, it is such an important element in productivity. Sometimes I ask my boss to let me go to go for a half day at a coffee shop, and I get SO much done and feel that is when I am most creative (because normally I have a million people coming up to me asking if I have 5 minutes that turns into an hour).

Ahhhhh so cute!!! I now need to go out and stock up on cute desk stuff for mine- maybe then I can actually focus and do work with a cute office space!Ashlee Sides recently posted..Spring Wardrobe Faves

Ugh! I just love all of your home decor ideas! I started using your mixing masculine and feminine tip. I was always going down the neutral route with decor when me and my husband moved in together and it was so le boring. And now we are spicing up the place and I’m getting my girly fix while digging the masculine mix. I’m loving your design network series and can’t wait for what’s next!Stephanie recently posted..Baby Washcloths…and why I love them

Two questions: (1) is your office at home? Or outside of the house? Totally just curious 🙂 I have an in-home office. (2) are you comfortable having your computer (desktop) closer to you – it looks super close to the edge of your desk? I have a new iMac and literally cannot figure out how to get comfortable at my desk. My back neck always hurt at the end of the day. Any suggestions?
